How do I retrieve a long file path from a drag-and-drop operation on Windows, using Qt? Qt erroneously returns an empty array
Maybe I’m doing this wrong but if so I’m not sure how. Qt normally provides a QMimeData object for a drop event, which will contain the URLs of any associated files. On Windows, when such a file is long, exceeding the 260 character MAX_PATH, Qt seems to choke. hasUrls will return true, but the URL list will be empty. Internally I can see that it fails to grab the data with the COM function returning ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER.
